Stuff Yinzers Like

Joe Starkey, of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, has written a great article on what it would be like if fans owned the team as a public entity, much like the Green Bay Packers. While it is against league rules, Joe speculates on what the 40-part mission statement would be.

I’m really loving the theme/design of your website. Do you ever
run into any internet browser compatibility issues? A couple
of my blog readers have complained about my blog not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Opera.
Do you have any suggestions to help fix this issue?
